pyuv-1.0.0

pyuv is a big step forward after 0.10. It's based on the 1.x libuv branch and, like libuv itself, will be maintained for a long time, while maintaining API compatibility. It does, however, have some backwards incompatible API changes with regards to 0.10, but it's for the best, trust me :-)

This release drops support for Python 2.6 and 3.0-3.2.

Changes since 0.10:

• Added instance dictionary to Request objects
• Added libuv-verbose-build command line argument
• Added MAC address to util.interface_addresses() output
• Dropped MinGW support

• Keep handles (Python objects) alive when they are started
• Added flags argument to TCP.bind
• Add Stream.try_write() function
• Added Loop.alive attribute
• Define and expose UV_TCP_IPV6ONLY constant
• Add UDP.set_multicast_interface function
• Export UV_UDP_REUSEADDR constant
• Accept '' as a valid address to bind to
• Added Pipe.getsockname function
• Barrier.wait returns a boolean now
• Fix bytes / unicode nonsense in many places
• Add getnameinfo support
• Add util.getrusage()
• Fix handling empty UDP datagrams
• Added UDP.try_send function
• Add pyuv.fs.access function
• Make Process.spawn a class method
